Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔌ has the Unicode code point U+150C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+150C to binary:
00010101 00001100. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100001 10010100 10001100

Description
U+150C (CANADIAN SYLLABICS NASKAPI SPWA) is a character in the Unicode Standard, specifically designated for use in digital text representing the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This particular character, Spwa (Naskapi), is one of 21 letters that form the basis of the Naskapi and Innu-aimun languages spoken by the Naskapi and Innu people, respectively, in Canada's Québec province and Labrador region. The Naskapi syllabics are used for both written communication and as an aid in language preservation and revitalization efforts. U+150C is essential in digital text applications, including word processing software, web content, and other platforms that support Unicode characters, to ensure accurate representation of the Naskapi language. Its presence in the Unicode Standard reflects a commitment to represent the diverse linguistic heritage found within Canada's borders, promoting cultural inclusivity and respect for indigenous languages.
